636. Making a Movement: Empowering Action - Jon and Becky

We’ve reached the final chapter of our Making a Movement series, and we’re leaning all in on what it truly means to empower action. This episode is a celebration of the heartbeat behind every movement: community. You’ll hear the inspiring story of Hannah Lowe, a fearless mom on a mission who rallied her village to raise $2 million for her son’s life-changing treatment. It’s a powerful reminder that when a call to action is clear and authentic, it has the power to ignite a movement.We’re also featuring insights from previous episodes with Celeste Flores, who pulls back the curtain on the global generosity of Giving Tuesday and the community-powered magic that drives it. Plus, Amanda Liaw shares why going deep, not just broad, is the key to building engagement that lasts. Together, we’ll explore how to make participation joyful, how to sustain momentum, and why prioritizing your own well-being is essential for staying in the work.If you’re ready to activate your community and believe in the ripple effect of good, this conversation is for you. Let’s keep building this movement together.Episode Highlights: Empowering Action: making movements (02:15)Hannah Lowe’s Story: Clear Messaging Mobilizes a Community (08:40)Giving Tuesday: Building Community Beyond Fundraising (15:30)Secret Sauce: Go Deep, Not Broad (22:05)Personalization at Scale: Partnerships and Human Stories (28:50)Gratitude First: Transforming Board Buy-In (34:10)Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/536Join us at The Spread!Givebutter's biggest innovation event of the year is here — The Spread, built entirely around co-creating with nonprofits like yours. 💛We Are For Good is joining forces with GB to host in-person hackathon meetups on Friday, Oct. 2, in New York, Seattle, LA, Denver, and Indianapolis, so you can build alongside other nonprofits in the community.Learn more and save your free spot today. //Join the We Are For Good Community—completely free.Join fellow changemakers, share takeaways from this working session, and keep collaborating in a space built for connection, inspiration, and real impact: www.weareforgoodcommunity.comSay hi 👋LinkedIn / Instagram / Facebook / YouTube / Twitter
